Get to Know Duda Ace Hardware

Duda Ace Hardware is the epitome of a true family business, with Leroy Duda opening its doors in October of 1953. Back then, it was just called Duda Hardware.

It became an Illinois corporation at the end of 1985, with Leroy, Elnora Duda, and Eileen Steinmeyer serving as directors. In early 1986, Duda Hardware became Duda Ace Hardware with Leroy as owner and Leroy Schuette as general manager.

As a member of Ace Corporation, Duda Ace is one of over 4,800 Ace Hardware stores located in 50 states and 70 countries. A perk of being an Ace member is that it provides access to over 75,000 hardware products.

Duda Ace participates in fundraising for the Children’s Miracle Network. The Children’s Miracle Network raises funds and awareness for 170 member hospitals that provide 32 million treatments each year to kids across the U.S. and Canada.

Duda Ace is also the place for local charity car washes, donut sales, and many other fundraising events.
